Not a single car alike!

Half the field with 100 start speeds may bode well for some high bids for pole. With three 20's, Fabio may have found a sweet spot in the middle.

Note: Fabio is in the cockpit for Phil.

The starting grid is reset to seven with Michael unable to race.

I should have expanded the shots to include the plotted speeds. Ah well... live & learn.

: T1: 5 cars push, 5 cars succeed.

: T2: Rando and Don clear the first corner and will run almost the entire race at 1 & 2.

I did not take screenshots for Turns 29 & 30. I think I was trying to figure out how to catch the leaders and became overly distracted :broken:

: T28: The leaders ready their engines for the back stretch.

: T31: Rando has a clear path to victory. Mike & Paul catch up to Don in the penultimate corner.

: T32: Paul miscalculates and plots a speed he can't brake down from. Into the kitty litter and out of the race.

: T33: Rando wins! Mike & Fabio have Don surrounded.

: T34: With the push, Mike pulls out 2nd, Don has 3rd, & Fabio 4th.
